extrashot Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Ps. Thank You Doug! You're welcome.... although I regret selling Seamus every single day. But such was the timing... I simply didn't have the time or $ or workspace to fix up the front. Stupid slow speed rear ender after a light changed & the big honkin truck in front of me stopped suddenly. What killed me was I had just custom-mounted an A-frame brush guard to it & it was torn off. And yes, every little OEM piece I could find new went back on it. Spent hours detailing it inside & out with a toothbrush! Even re-sewed the leather steering wheel cover twice just to get it perfect. Hope you're enjoying it & keep the pics coming... always wanted to give it a mild lift, so you have my blessing, but just please don't trash it on a trail!! Peace... - Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took it up to the slopes for my birthday, Gonna be installing a stereo here real soon. Even got a slanted stereo console so i don't have to jerry rig a surround for the cd player! I guess that doesn't cut as close to toothbrush detailing though You can be sure that I won't trash it on the trail though...Its just too damn pretty.

ezapar Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Pretty hatch haunt. Aren't you glad you didnt' sell it? Dain']Lift it??? leave that pretty thing on the ground... you'll probably just end up trashing it otherwize That's not necessarily true. Mine's been lifted for 6 years, and it's still pretty beautiful. Just because you take a Soob off road, doesn't mean you have to trash it.

haunt Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 The new and IMPROVED hatch HUUUUUGE thanks to Lance(mtnman38) for the custom lift and helping out a city boy such as myself haha. I can't wait to get a few more things tied off and get this thing back on the road again so i can take some better pics to really show the little touches this thing has. really turned out better than i expected.

ezapar Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Very nice. Like I said, aren't you glad you didn't sell it? So when are we gonna pose yours and mine together for a USMB super teaser? You're in Seattle, right? We both have imprezas and lifted ea81s, right? Could be a pretty nice pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm down! couple more weeks or so and the quirks should be worked out on the hatch...a dog ran into my impreza though...so its going to the body shop next week. but i think that'd be good after thats finished up! still i dunno what you're talking about with selling the hatch! i don't think i've thought about that one haha. been trying to work out the engine swap/new car toss up with the impreza for awhile now though...

ezapar Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I guess I got you confused with a guy in Shoreline who had a pretty sweet hatch, but was having some frustration with it and wanted to sell it. Anyways. Yeah, lemme know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
